Data-driven breakdowns of the Digital SAT: what’s in the official question bank, how scoring really works, and the methods that move a plateaued score.
Behind the method
Most practice tests recycle the same old released forms. Intel Tests are different: our experts study what the newest exams actually tested, using signals from thousands of recent test-takers, then rebuild it as original questions. Here is how the approach works and why it puts you closer to the next real test.
Data study
We ranked all 25 tested skills by how often they appear and how hard they run, using our full tagged question bank. A handful carry most of the points, and most study plans spread time evenly across all of them. Here is the ranking and how to use it.
Question-bank analysis
We analyzed the 270 questions newly added to the official SAT Question Bank. 56% are Hard and geometry is 42% of the new Math. Here's the data, two sample questions to try, and how to practice the batch free.
Reading method
Every Digital SAT Reading question belongs to one of a dozen types, and each announces itself with a specific phrase in the stem. Learn the tells and you walk into every question already knowing the one move that answers it. A field guide, with a question to try.
Trap anatomy
The Digital SAT does not write random wrong answers. On the verbal side nearly every trap is one of two things, and on Math every wrong choice is a specific mistake the test expects you to make. Once you can name the pattern, you eliminate without re-solving.
